Abstract

An alloy with the nominal composition 42Nb-28Ti-30Al (at.%) was heat treated in the sigma + beta phase region. The evolution of σ phase from the metastable β phase and the stability of the two-phase microstructure at various aging temperatures were evaluated using TEM techniques. The results indicate that the β phase in equilibrium with the σ phase at high temperatures decomposes to the orthorhombic phase at temperatures below 1200°C.
